All this does is, once again, prove how much Spurrier knows what a POS for a coach Dabo is. He knew Dabo would spend a significant amount of time the last few days figuring out what his comeback would be, rather than dedicating 100% of his time on game preparations like he should. But, then again, I guess cheerleaders do have a little more time on their hands leading up to games than the actual coaches do.

I'm all about our rivalry just as much as the next person, but I don't even know what this stuff is about anymore. It's just stupid from both sides.

Let me explain why it's a rivalry to me...way back before any of us were born Clemson was formed for a bunch of rich families of the time with spoiled kids..they only allowed the selected crust of the State and surrounding area to participate in their Club football program..Shortly thereafter South Carolina was formed in it's infancy..However we were determined to offer a higher education of the time to the low country and piedmont that were not as fortunate as those in Clemson at the time..the first game of what was no more than Club football was won by us...that more than anything in the history of this rivalry set Clemson's tail on fire and they went out with the intent of that not happening again..by any means possible and you can fill in the blanks...

So why is it a rivalry to me..the superior attitude they seem to display is taken down a notch each and every time we beat them..just remember they picked their players back in the day when they added so many wins and they almost got the death penalty in recent history..that mindset was started back when we played the first game...but the supposed lesser team won..they still can't live with it..how's that for history...

Spurrier knew Clemson would beat OSU. He planted that seed bc he knew when they won all Dabo would be able to think about is "firing back". In the midst of their biggest win in over 30yrs, their fearless leader can't quite get over the 5yr run. The HBC has him where he wants him. Mind power sucka!

you may be right.. hbc is a smart man. he got in dabo's head real good.

USC was around for 80+ years before Clemson and also we played football before Clemson was ever founded.

Clemson's attitude about how good they think they are in football and their bloated expectations remind me of NC state fans in basketball...one and done championship and will never get there again but think they are there every year

Those comments by HBC and Dabo are for the fans of both teams. There is nothing wrong with a little back and forth. I, for one, am glad to see Sammy Watkins move on (ha, ha). He never dominated us, but he is clearly capable of it. For stretches of that game, Clemson played well enough to score on anybody. Their O was definitely faster than Ohio's D. And Clemson's D-Line showed for the 2nd game in a row that they are very good.

Next year's game will be a toss-up once again. Having two strong in-state teams is a good thing.
